Yes, Acorn, it's called !Gateway, and it comes on the AUN disks.
 
Back in Hong Kong I used it extensively on the network I
administered <http://mdfs.net/User/JGH/Docs/AFE/Network> which had
Beebs, Masters and Arcs Econet communicating with Arcs, RiscIXs and
PCs on Ethernet.
 
The simplest solution for just serving files is to put the
fileserver on a machine with both Econet and Ethernet interfaces.

can lift $50 of groceries with one hand. I must have got stronger.
